I'm sure it looks like I'm moving really slowly on this rear disc brake conversion but it takes a while for all the stars to align in the right phase of the moon....blahblahblah.....

Anyway, this week I acquired a LH anti-moan bracket and proceeded to modify it for my application. I cut off the factory clamp and fitted it to my 3" clamp. I tacked it in place then removed it for welding. I cut a little support piece and welded it all up and painted it. I could weld straighter if I could actually see through my freakin' mask! It's an auto-darken unit and soon as the weld starts, it gets really hard to see what's going on. Maybe I need a new helmet... Anyway, it's welded and I don't think it will break anytime soon. When the paint dries, I can mount it.

Also mounted the housing under the car today, hooked up the sway bar, etc. I keep thinking if I dilly dally long enough, a 9" pumpkin w 3.89 gears & traction loc will appear at a reasonable price. If it doesn't, I'll stick the old pumpking back in for now so I can get the car back on the ground and do other stuff...
